All true, for now.

For securement devices they seem to be big on the Ancra brand, which is my personal favorite that I have tried so far. Good middle of the road quality and cost.
As for tarps, I have no idea as that is a foreign concept to me! -
Tri-city is a good place for equipment. The prices are reasonably good for most products. They did custom sew straps. Sometimes getting tarps can be slow for customized ones.
Mytee can be a good source for products. They mostly sell kinedyne straps, they do have some imported ones with their name on them. Tarps are mostly imported. -
Had a real hard time getting custom tarps from Steve at tri-city. They are under new owner or management. Steve is literally beside himself. I spent 7 months hearing promises and excuses.
He told me they don’t really do custom tarps anymore. Just the standard stuff they get by the container from overseas.
Last 16 x 16 machines tarp I got the stitches weren’t even on the nylon strapping for about 2’ in one section. I have used a tri-city tarp I got with my old trailer 9 years ago that still in really good shape. The one I bought 2 years ago is junk already.
I orderd some mytee 8” that were on sale. Lost one and the other is holding up fine after about a dozen uses. But now that one lost one of the pair I guess I’ll never know how they will hold up? Doubt I’ll ever buy another 8’?Espressolane, Ruthless, CAXPT and 1 other person Thank this. -
Been a while since getting any stuff from them. Sounds like things have really changed. Could always call and have stuff ready when I showed up.
